Default settings.

[Guest]

Hi, I am currently at a workplace trying to figure out applying settings to
computers. My question is whether or not there is a way when I sign on a
computer and change the user settings for example desktop background and
appearance that these changes will then be the default for other users who
sign in the same computer.

As of right now I sign on this computer as admin, I have a plain blue
background. Now when someone else logs in to the same computer, they see a
different background. How do I apply the settings from the admin to the
other users.


Thanks

Have you tried saving your desired set of settings to a "Theme", and then
while in the other account on that machine, or on another machine, going
back to the display properties dialog box, pulling down the drop down list
of themes, choose "Browse...." and loading the theme you had previously
saved?

I've done this before, and it'll do about 75% of what you want to do. For
some reason it won't make the new user's settings totally match the saved
theme, but it'll get most of them to be identical to the original user's
settings.
